Just stop.

If you want to be done with it, be done with it.

Don't vape, don't patch, and for God's sake don't worry about waiting until you're out.

It's a rough 72 hours, but that's about it for actual withdrawal. After that, it's all about the habit. I'll certainly admit that I chewed a few coffee stirrers, but soon realized how ridiculous that was. I'm told by those who should know that I was the bitch from hell for about two weeks, so you might warn people.

I loved everything about smoking except dirty ash trays and coughing, but when it was time to quit, it was time to quit.

That time for me came 26 years ago and believe me, if I could quit, anyone can quit.
